Hurghada
After arriving at Hurghada airport in the early hours of the night, we will transfer to our hotel with our private vehicle waiting for us and check in early. You can enjoy the sea, sand, and sun throughout the day. Lunch, dinner, and accommodation are all-inclusive at our all-inclusive hotel in Hurghada.
Hurghada - Karnak Temple - Luxor Temple - Luxor
After breakfast at the hotel, we will depart for Luxor. Upon arrival, we will begin our Karnak & Luxor Temple Tour. Our first stop will be Karnak Temple, the largest temple complex in Egypt and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This magnificent structure, surrounded by mud-brick walls twenty meters high and housing numerous temples, offers important insights into Egypt's history and mythology. We will explore this grand site, whose construction spanned over 2,000 years, observing the additions made by each pharaoh to the tombs of their predecessors. Our second stop will be Luxor Temple, rising in all its splendor along the banks of the Nile River and one of the best-preserved structures of the ancient world. Built around 1400 BC and welcoming visitors with colossal statues of Ramses II, this temple was a sacred center that hosted royal coronation ceremonies. At the entrance of the temple, you can see the twin obelisk sent to Paris' Place de la Concorde and the starting point of the 3-kilometer-long Avenue of Sphinxes leading to Karnak. After our tour, we will transfer back to our hotel and have free time. Overnight at our hotel.
Luxor - Valley of the Kings - Temple of Hatshepsut - Luxor
After breakfast at the hotel, we will depart for the Valley of the Kings & Hatshepsut Temple Tour with lunch. Our tour begins by exploring the Valley of the Kings, where tombs were built to bury pharaohs and powerful nobles. The kings had their tombs constructed within this mysterious valley to prevent theft of their valuable belongings and to ensure their immortality in peace. After visiting the Valley of the Kings, we proceed to the Hatshepsut Temple, a monument erected in honor of Hatshepsut, Ancient Egypt's first and only female pharaoh. After touring this significant tomb-temple complex—where Hatshepsut, after becoming queen, dressed as a king and wore a false beard—we will have our meal at a local restaurant. Following this, we will be transferred back to our hotel and enjoy free time. Overnight at our hotel.
Luxor - Philae Temple - Aswan Dam - Aswan
After breakfast at the hotel, we will head to Aswan. During our journey, we will undertake the Philae Temple & Aswan Dam Tour. Our first stop will be the Philae Temple, located on Agilkia Island in the Nile River and known as the "Pearl of Egypt." This temple is dedicated to the Egyptian Goddess Isis. Recognized as the last stronghold of ancient Egyptian belief, the structure stands out with its elegant Greco-Roman architecture, columned halls, and hieroglyphic reliefs. Afterwards, we will see the massive engineering project, the Aswan Dam, which marked a turning point in modern Egyptian history. Built to control the annual floods of the Nile River and provide energy to the country, this structure plays a major role in preserving Egypt's ancient monuments. After our tour, we will arrive at our hotel and have free time. Overnight at our hotel.

The complex, prominently featuring a magnificent plaster and glass facade, is decorated with triangles of various sizes and colors as a tribute to Ancient Egypt. Next, we will visit the Great Pyramid of Khufu, the Pyramid of Khafre, and the Pyramid of Menkaure, one of the Seven Wonders of the World, named after the pharaohs who commissioned them. Built thousands of years ago and still retaining their mysteries, these three pyramids were designed incorporating the Pythagorean theorem. These pyramids, constructed long before Pythagoras, demonstrate that the Egyptians possessed advanced knowledge of mathematics and geometry. After visiting the mysterious pyramids, we will see the Sphinx, with the head of a pharaoh and the body of a lion, symbolizing the rising sun and rebirth for the pharaoh. We will have our lunch at a local restaurant during the tour. Finally, after visiting the "Living Statue" Sphinx, which holds a temple between its paws, free time will be provided. Then, we will transfer back to our hotel. Overnight stay at our hotel.
